# Tiers

> What each tier unlocks — quotas, rate limits, fields, and bulk data.

WXA VPN Intelligence has six tiers. Pick based on monthly query volume,
field requirements, and bulk-data needs.

¹ Business and Enterprise are unlimited subject to fair use; sustained patterns
at extreme volume are renegotiated to ensure availability for other customers.

## What changes between tiers

### Free → Starter

You get the **provider / operator name** for VPN classifications and the
**batch endpoint** (up to 100 IPs/call). Free tier returns `provider: null`
even for known VPN endpoints.

### Starter → Pro

You get **residential proxy attribution** — which commercial proxy network
(BrightData, IPRoyal, Decodo, etc.) the exit IP belongs to — plus
**confidence + freshness** signals, the **full ASN abuse breakdown**, and
**CSV bulk export**. This is what most fraud and abuse pipelines need.

### Pro → Scale

Same field surface as Pro at higher volume — **50 M lookups/month**, higher
rate limits, and per-lookup overage metering for high-throughput workloads.

### Scale → Business

You get the **downloadable bulk feeds**: **MMDB** (MaxMind-compatible) and
**Parquet** (warehouse loads), plus residential /32 enumeration. Bulk data is
redistribution-licensed and sales-fulfilled.

### Business → Enterprise

You get **NetFlow protocol attribution** — the protocol family that the
VPN endpoint speaks (OpenVPN, WireGuard, IKEv2, anyconnect, custom-
camouflaged TLS, etc.), derived from network telemetry. This is the
moat field — invisible to scanning alone. Also unlocks **shadow-VPN intel**
(public-internet-facing remote access infrastructure with attribution),
the highest-value field for cyber-insurance and incident-response use cases.

## Choosing a tier

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Build / evaluate" icon="flask">
    Free or Starter. Free is enough for prototyping; Starter adds provider
    names and batch lookups.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Production fraud" icon="shield">
    Pro is the sweet spot for most apps — residential proxy attribution and
    confidence signals are the fields most fraud teams need.
  </Card>

  <Card title="High-volume platforms" icon="gauge">
    Scale — the same fields as Pro at 50 M lookups/month with overage
    metering.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Bulk data / intel" icon="database">
    Business for downloadable MMDB + Parquet feeds; Enterprise for NetFlow
    protocol attribution and shadow-VPN intel.
